Yeah, I got my fingers crossed for some sort of decent weather at least at some point during my stay.

As far as what we are into, really anything, really just looking for things that I cant get out here in the midwest, so pretty much anything lol.  Just trying to hear the good places from the people that have been there and not leave myself to random google searches and yelp reviews.

If you're just looking for something chill to do with your girl, go to Wrightsville Beach and go for a walk on Johnny Mercer's Pier. Pay $4 and go for a stroll on the pier (it's pretty long) and watch the surfers, you definitely can't get that in the midwest.

Go have an appetizer or two with some cocktails at Dockside, especially if pretty and sit outside.  If not, sit in the bar area and check out the boats.  Not great food for a "dinner" IMO.

Take a walk on the river walk downtown, if you like Tex/Mex try Beer Barrio for some good food downtown.

Want a great restaurant to take the lady to that you won't see very often?  Try Caprice Bistro, don't leave without getting the escargot.

Take her to Kilwins for desert.

Battleship is cool if you are into history, as well as Fort Fisher if you have plenty of time.

Go to the aquarium at Carolina Beach and take the ferry to Southport from there and just walk around a bit.

I rarely watch the games out somewhere, but depending on where you are staying, I can offer up a couple places.

If you are into craft beers, check out Fermental and Lighthouse.

Craft cocktail, weird place, downtown?  Try the Blind Elephant.

Or go sit at Oceanic and do the same over beer or two.

Good deal.

 

Also, if you want to a workout and a great spot for views, hit the loop one afternoon at Wrightsville, especially if it's warm and sunny.......trust me.

I second the Beer Bario. I couldnt remember then ame of it earlier, but their nachos are awesome and they have a great selection of craft beer.
